Title: Jerry Stiller
Post by greggerypeccary on May 11th, 2020 at 7:34pm

What a legend.

His son is pretty damn good too.

Jerry Stiller, the Seinfeld and The King of Queens actor and father of Ben Stiller, has died at the age of 92.

Was trying to figure out his first name the other day. Dad referred to him as "Ben Stiller's dad". Then he made the remark that he "had something to do with Seinfeld". Did not know if he was making a witty remark or trying to clue me in to who he was.

A co-worker's mother sold me her son's Seinfeld collection for $10. I watched a couple of episodes and then have watched a few episodes on television recently.

I figure I have wasted $10 and about an hour or so watching Seinfeld. It seriously is not funny. Jerry Stiller is probably wasted on such a show.

Seinfeld is certainly known for dividing viewers.

You either love it or hate it.

Personally, I think it's one of the best comedy TV shows ever made.

Frasier, Cheers, I Love Lucy, and Mad About You (or Black Books) would round out my top five.

'Becker' is my favourite American sit com

I want to get the television series of "Lost" completed by the end of June. And then I might "winter is coming" rewatch "Game of Thrones" so that I can find out what happened in season 7 and 8. I have only just finished watching "Sons of Anarchy" last night. And I think I have "Bosch", "The Sopranos", and "The Wire" still to watch. But, I suppose I could watch "Seinfeld" after GoT by August.

"Seinfeld" will warm to me. I don't hate the show from what I see. But, Seinfeld looks unfunny for a show that relies heavily on a laugh track. Even Shaun Micallef's "Mad As Hell" doing a sarcastic laugh track in place of its audience was funnier for that 2 minute gag than what I have seen in just over an hour of Seinfeld. I won't judge until I finish the series.... one way or the other.

Yes, another classic.

Ted Danson has been in some great shows.
